Vue.js empowers developers to build dynamic and interactive web applications through its approachable and versatile framework.
Before you can run a Vue.js app on your computer, you'll need to install Node.js. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that lets you execute JavaScript code outside of a browser.
Installing vue-cli
Vue-cli is a helpful command-line tool for creating and handling Vue.js applications. Install it globally using npm to easily access it from your command line interface (CLI).
npm install -g @vue/cli
Once the installation is complete, restart your CLI terminal to ensure that the latest commands are loaded. Then, test if vue-cli is functioning properly by running the command:
vue --version
Generating a Vue Project
Navigate to your desired location using the command prompt, and then create a new project by running the following command
vue create hello-world
Highlight 'default' using the arrow keys and press Enter. Now, wait for your project to be generated
Go to the project directory by using 'cd' command, and then run the Vue.js app using the following command.
npm run serve
This will launch a development server that monitors changes in your app's source code. Open your browser and go to the URL displayed in your terminal
Congratulations! You've entered your very first Vue.js app!
